    [Rifle Support System and Kit]
    Field of the Invention
    The present invention relates to a rille pod bearing configured for rille support comprising a rille support area and a rigid housing. The rifle pod bearing may constitute part of a rifle support system or kit used as a shooting stand. The rifle systems are transportable, collapsible and height adjustable.
    Object of the Invention
    The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved rifle support of the above type, and through simple means further improve the usefulness of the rifle support system.
    Background of the Invention
    Many hunters and target shooters use a rifle support when shooting rather than using their hand, forearm or shoulder to support the rifle. Supporting the rifle or part of the rifle manually will always give some wobble of the rifle and therefore reduction of target accuracy. At long distance from a target, even the slightest movement of the human body, and hence the rifle, can cause a large reduction in target accuracy. In order to overcome these shortcomings of this hand holding method, many hunters and target shooters use a rifle support aid.
    Well-known rifle support aids consist of a simple branch, a rock or a branch cut from a tree which is used to support one part of the rifle. These aids are found at the spot and thus no transport of the aid is necessary; however, the shooter must rely on such an aid being available on the spot and adapt the shooting position to the shape and height of the aid.
    DK 2017 70057 A1
    Numerous inventions have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of the hand holding shooting method and the method of relying on finding useable rifle support aids on the spot.
    A broad range of factory-made rifle supports with one, two or three telescopic or otherwise variable-length leg supports are available. A known monopod rifle support system has a fixed upper fork which can serve as a rest for the front part of the hunting rifle.
    Bipod rifle support systems are often formed with an upper construction where the panel point of the upper end portions of the two legs serves as support point of the rifle. The intersection of the two legs is interconnected in a flexible manner so that the rifle support can be folded together.
    Both the monopod and bipod support systems require a further support from the shooter to be stable an all dimensions. On the other hand, available tripods are selfstabilizing but are otherwise comparable to the bipod systems, as the upper construction where the panel point of the upper end portions of the legs serves as support point of the rifle. The intersection of the legs is interconnected in a flexible manner so that the rifle support can be folded together. These are all single-support rifle systems, and thus part of the rifle is still manually supported.
    A number of dual-support rifle systems have been suggested to overcome the shortcomings of a manually supporting part of the rifle. These systems typically support a rifle at each end, under the barrel and under the stock.
    US 5,930,933 discloses such a system which is portable, collapsible and adjustable. The support stand is made of two vertical supports for the rifle. The rear or stock support is a collapsible tripod and the front or barrel support is a collapsible bipod. The front and rear support of the rifle support stand can be adjusted in height relative to the position of the ground.
    DE 397 026 C also discloses such a system which is lightweight and collapsible. The support stand consists of a rear tripod, a front bipod, and a flexible connection be
    DK 2017 70057 A1 tween the upper ends of the tripod and bipod. The lower ends of the tripod and the bipod are interlocked through a hinge.
    In W00065950 Al another dual-support rifle system is disclosed which is lightweight and collapsible. The system is made up of four rods where the lower ends of each pairs are interconnected and whose upper ends likewise are connected in pairs in such a manner that said upper ends form two V-shaped support points for the rifle.
    DK 177354 discloses yet another dual-support rifle system which is light-weight, collapsible and adjustable. The system consists of a front bipod and a rear bipod, which bipod is flexibly hinged to the tripod. The height of the bipod is adjustable compared to the tripod-height by use of one or more flexible connections formed by cords or bands.
    In general, these rifle systems are light-weight, collapsible and height adjustable which is important as the shooter may have to transport the system to different hunting grounds or shooting areas, or have to carry the system during the hunt from one area to another. Furthermore, the shooter may have to adjust the system in height to adapt to unevenness in the terrain.
    Object of the Invention
    The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved rifle support of the above type, and through simple means further improve the usefulness of the rifle support system.
    Description of the Invention
    The aforementioned aspects may be achieved by a rifle pod bearing configured for rifle support comprising a rifle support area and a rigid housing. The rifle pod bearing is configured with two internal plane housing sides arranged to be substantially parallel, and two leg-connecting links, where each leg-connecting link is configured for receiving a rifle pod leg and arranged to align the leg-connecting links () in one first plane. The housing is configured with two fixed joint support pieces substantially perpendicular to the internal housing sides and arranged with an upper face and a lower face. Each leg-connecting link comprises a leg-connecting piece configured for receiving a rifle pod leg, a joint configured with a first fastener with a first fastener face
    DK 2017 70057 A1 facing the upper face of the joint support pieces, and a second fastener with a second fastener face facing the lower face of the joint support pieces. The first fastener and second fastener are arranged to be connected through the fixed joint support piece and the leg-connecting links are pivotable in the first plane being substantially parallel to the internal housing sides.
    Rifle pod may also be referred to by shooting stand, riffle support or the like and is used as a general term regardless of the number of legs and thus covers everything from a monopod to a multiple-legged pod.
    An effect of the embodiment is that the rifle pod bearing may be used with any rifle pod legs which may be mounted in the leg-connecting piece to make up a shooting stand. Thus any sticks, pipes pieces, branches or fabricated legs may be used for the rifle pod legs. The end of the leg-connecting pieces configured for receiving a rifle pod leg may be hollow like a pipe or be a solid rod. Thus the legs may be mounted accordingly. The rifle pod legs may fit into the leg-connecting pieces without using further aids. Alternatively the rifle pod legs may be fitted using rubber bands, Dutch tape, O-rings, extension pieces or the like.
    One advantage of this embodiment is that the shooter may store rifle pod legs at different locations and thus only needs to carry the rifle pod bearing between the locations. This may for example be appreciated by a hunter using the same observation points on a regular basis. The hunter may thus store rifle pod legs on each of these observation points. The rifle pod legs alone may not be useful for others and may be made inexpensively and thus not be subject for theft. Furthermore the legs may be made of decomposable material and thus be decomposed over time if the hunter forgets where they were stored.
    A further advantage may be that the shooter may avoid travelling with the legs and thus avoid large size luggage.
    In a further embodiment, the first fastener and the second fastener of the Rifle pod bearing are connected through the fixed joint support piece with slag movement in the direction parallel to the fasteners.
    DK 2017 70057 A1
    One effect of this further embodiment may be that no tools are necessary for operating the rifle pod bearing which may be advantageous in regard to easy and fast operation of the rifle pod bearing. The legs are mounted and pivoted to the desired angles making up the shooting stand which is placed on the ground, and the rifle pod bearing is resting on the second (lower) fastener and thus supported in this way when placing the rifle on the shooting stand.
    This may be appreciated by a hunter or target shooter where the targets are placed at different locations or where the hunter follows the game. The shooting stand provides for an action of stop - unfold- aim.
    Yet a further effect of this embodiment is that the rifle pod bearing does not comprise outer protrusions of screws, fasteners or other mechanical locking mechanisms to be operated by the user. This may be advantageous in regard to reduce the risk of any whistling sounds to arise due to such protrusions and thus, from a hunter’s perspective, of scaring the game.
    In a further embodiment the rifle pod bearing further comprises a tripod mounting section and a third leg-connecting link configured for receiving a rifle pod leg and which third leg-connecting link is arranged to be pivotable in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the internal housing sides. The tripod mounting section is comprised in the rifle pod bearing housing sides arranged to be aligned in the second plane. The third leg-connecting link comprises a pivot to be mounted in the tripod mounting section and arranged to be rotatable in the tripod mounting section. The third leg-connecting link further comprises at least one release mechanism to lock and release the cylindrical pivot in the tripod mounting section. Furthermore the third legconnecting link comprises a pivot joint, and a leg-connecting piece configured for receiving a rifle pod leg.
    The tripod mounting section may be a hole in the housing side, a hole in each housing side which holes are aligned in a plane perpendicular to the housing sides, or magnetic mounting devices. These are just mentioned as examples and the configuration of the tripod mounting section may not be limited to these.
    DK 2017 70057 A1
    This embodiment may provide a further effect to the rifle pod bearing of achieving a tripod shooting stand which has the advantage of being self-supporting.
    In case the mounting section of the rifle pod bearing comprises a hole in the housing, a plug for the tripod mounting hole(s) may be provided for achieving a continuous surface of the housing when the third leg-connecting link is not mounted.
    In a further embodiment of the rifle pod bearing, the rigid housing is configured with an exterior flush surface.
    This further embodiment may have the effect that the rifle pod bearing does not comprise outer protrusions, sharp edges or the like which may cause whistling sounds when used outside in the wind, and thus, from a hunter’s perspective, reduce the risk of scaring the game. This effect is comparable with that previously mentioned.
    In yet a further embodiment the rigid housing of the rifle pod bearing is configured with one or more stability cord holes arranged for receiving a stability cord for obtaining a further stability dimension to the rifle pod.
    A further effect of this embodiment may be that when applying a cord to the monopod or bipod a further stability dimension is added to the shooting stand. One end of the stability cord - the first end - is fastened in the housing, and the other end - the second end - may be fastened to the ground by stepping on that end, fastened to a tree, a rock or the like, and thereby it is achieved that the monopod or bipod is stabilized in the direction of the stability cord but only in the direction going from the second end to the first end of the stability cord. This may also be referred to as being stabilized in a half dimension.
    A further embodiment of the invention and the aforementioned aspects may be achieved by a rifle pod kit comprising a rifle pod bearing configured with one or more stability cord holes arranged for receiving a stability cord for obtaining a further sta
    DK 2017 70057 A1 bility dimension to the rifle pod, and comprising a stability cord configured with a first end to be inserted in a stability cord hole in the rifle pod bearing for obtaining a further stability dimension to the rifle pod kit.
    As previously described one effect of this embodiment may be that when applying a cord to the monopod or bipod a further stability dimension is added to the shooting stand. One end of the stability cord - the first end - is fastened in the housing, and the other end - the second end - may be fastened to the ground by stepping on that end, fastened to a tree, a rock or the like and thereby achieve that the monopod or bipod is stabilized in direction of the stability cord but only in the direction going from the second end to the first end of the stability cord. This may also be referred to as being stabilized in a half dimension.
    A further effect is that the kit is still very compact and has the previously mentioned benefits of using any kind of rifle pod legs but with the further advantage of achieving an additional a half stability dimension.
    In one aspect the rifle pod kit may comprise a rifle pod bearing configured for using a stability cord in a different way than by utilizing a stability cord hole.
    A further embodiment of the rifle pod kit comprises two rifle pod bearings each configured with one or more stability cord holes arranged for receiving a stability cord for a further stability dimension to the rifle pod, and a stability cord. The stability cord is configured with a first end to be inserted in a stability cord hole in a first rifle pod bearing and a second end to be inserted in a stability cord hole in a second rifle pod bearing. The stability cord holes in the first and second rifle pod bearings are arranged to be aligned substantially perpendicular to the internal housing sides of the rifle pod bearings.
    One effect of this further embodiment is to interlock the two rifle pod bearings in the cord direction for obtaining a further stability dimension to the rifle pod kit. The bearings are interlocked at a distance given by the length of the cord in the outward direction away from the cord. By interlocking the bearings of two single-support shooting
    DK 2017 70057 A1 stands a dual-support shooting stand with an extra stability dimension in the cord’s direction between the two single-support shooting stands may be achieved. The single-support shooting stands may be any combination of monopods, bipods and tripods. However, a stable self-supported shooting stand may be achieved by a rifle tripod and a rifle bipod interlocked by the stability cord.
    A further embodiment of the rifle pod kit comprising two rifle pod bearings further comprises multiple leg-linking pieces configured with two leg-connecting pieces, a flexible joint comprising the two leg-connecting pieces, and a spike arranged to be inserted in the soil. Each leg-linking piece are arranged to create a leg panel point of the lower end of two legs where a first leg is connected to a first rifle pod bearing, and a second leg is connected to a second rifle pod bearing.
    The further effect of this embodiment is that two bipods, two tripods, or a tripod and a bipod may be interlocked at the base thereby achieving increased stability of the shooting stand.
    The leg-connecting pieces comprised in the joint may simply be holes in a flexible piece of material, pipes or rods interlocked by a flexible hinge, where the pipes or rods are configured for receiving a rifle pod leg. These are merely examples and the design of the leg-connecting pieces is by no means limited to these.
    A further embodiment of the invention may be achieved by a rifle pod kit comprising at least one rifle pod bearing and a pedestal. The pedestal is configured with two legconnecting pieces arranged to receive the leg-connecting pieces, a rigid joint comprising the two leg-connecting pieces, and a spike arranged to be inserted in the soil.
    The pedestal may simply be holes in a rigid piece of material, pipes or rods interlocked by a rigid hinge, where the pipes or rods are configured for receiving a rifle pod leg, leg extensions or leg-connecting pieces. These are merely examples and the design of the pedestal is by no means limited to these.
    The further effect of this embodiment is to obtain a low rifle support for shooting in a lying position. This may be advantageous if the terrain or target requires a low sup
    DK 2017 70057 A1 port. Using this embodiment may further provide for a dual-support shooting stand where the ground may be used for the second support point.
    Yet a further embodiment of the invention may be achieved by a rifle pod kit further comprising multiple rifle pod legs and/or multiple rifle pod leg extension pieces arranged for a rifle pod leg or a rifle pod leg extension piece to be mountable in a legconnecting piece of a rifle pod bearing. The rifle pod kit is configured to be stored flat as single parts in a compact suitcase.
    The further effect of this embodiment may be that a single kit may provide for a single-support and a dual-support shooting stand, and shooting stands for standing and lying positions. This may be advantageous in regard to the traveling burden both up to and during the hunting or target shooting event.
    In one aspect, the rifle pod legs may be telescopic extendable.
    In one aspect, the rifle pod legs may comprise at least one leg piece and an extension piece.
    In one aspect, the rifle pod kit may comprise multiple leg extension pieces and multiple leg extension connections.
